Bill > HR3810

This bill, known as the SKIM Act (Stopping Klepto-card and Identity Misuse Act), introduces several key provisions to combat access device fraud. First, it directs the United States Sentencing Commission to modify sentencing guidelines for fraud cases, increasing the offense level by 4 levels for cases involving access devices, with a minimum offense level of 14, and explicitly stating that any unauthorized charges made with counterfeit access devices should be included in calculating financial losses. Second, the bill requires the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to submit a comprehensive report to congressional committees within 90 days of enactment, detailing federal, state, and local law enforcement efforts to prevent, investigate, and prosecute access device fraud. The report must include an assessment of cooperative law enforcement operations, technologies used by fraudsters, the number of assistance requests from state and local agencies, identification of regions with significant fraud concerns, and recommendations for legislative and operational improvements in combating access device fraud. The bill defines "access device" and "counterfeit access device" according to existing federal criminal code, and specifies that the report will be submitted to key congressional committees in the judiciary and homeland security domains.
